CREDIT MEMO GENERATION
Complete credit memos assembled from your deal data.
A full credit memo with borrower overview, financial analysis, risk factors, and recommendation — generated from the documents and data already in the system. Every figure links back to the source document for full traceability.
Covenant testing and compliance tracking on autopilot.
Scheduled document collection, automated covenant testing, and early warning alerts keep your portfolio in check. DSCR, leverage, working capital, and custom covenants are tested each reporting period with results delivered to your team.
Two questions every credit team asks of AI underwriting, answered the way an examiner would want them answered.
Built for messy, real-world documents
Aloan handles the documents commercial lenders actually receive, not pristine PDFs. It ingests many formats (native and scanned PDFs, phone photos, faxes, and images) and reads through low-quality inputs like skewed scans, low-resolution copies, handwritten amendments, and non-standard tax-return, financial, and bank-statement layouts. It reads every line of every document, and output doesn't ride on a black box: every figure in a spread or memo is cited to the exact source page, so an underwriter verifies a number in one click instead of re-keying it.
The underwriter stays in control
Aloan is decision-support; it never approves or declines a loan. It automates the data work (collection, spreading, flagging, and memo drafting) and hands your team a cited, structured package. Your underwriters and credit committee make every final decision and own every exception, with full source traceability for examiner review.

Questions from lending partners
What is a commercial loan underwriting automation platform?
A commercial loan underwriting automation platform uses AI to handle the manual, repetitive steps of commercial lending — document collection, AI financial spreading, data extraction, risk flagging, and AI credit memo generation. Instead of weeks of manual work, underwriters get structured deal packages with full audit trails in minutes, with every number cited back to the source document.
How does an AI-powered commercial lending platform work for community banks?
An AI-powered commercial lending platform integrates into the existing workflow. Borrowers upload documents through a branded portal, and the AI extracts financial data, spreads it into the institution's standardized format, flags policy exceptions, and generates credit memos. Underwriters review and make the final decision — the AI handles the data entry and analysis.
Can a bank use its own underwriting models and credit policies?
Yes. Aloan is a decision-support commercial underwriting automation platform, not a replacement for the credit team. The institution configures its own credit policies, risk parameters, and approval criteria. The AI screens deals against those policies and surfaces exceptions — underwriters make all final decisions.
How accurate is AI financial spreading, and what happens with low-quality or complex documents?
Aloan is built for the documents commercial lenders actually receive, not pristine PDFs. It handles low-quality inputs across many formats: native and scanned PDFs, phone photos, faxes, and images, spanning the full range of tax-return, financial-statement, bank-statement, and rent-roll layouts. That includes skewed or low-resolution scans, handwritten amendments, and non-standard templates. It reads every line of every document rather than skimming cover pages, and accuracy stays verifiable: every figure in a spread or credit memo is cited to its exact source page, so an underwriter confirms a number in one click instead of trusting a black box. On a document it genuinely cannot read, Aloan asks for a human check rather than guessing.
Does Aloan make automated credit decisions?
No. Aloan is a decision-support platform; it never approves or declines a loan. It automates the manual work of commercial underwriting (document collection, financial spreading, risk flagging, and credit memo drafting) and hands underwriters a cited, structured deal package. Your team and credit committee make every final credit decision and own every exception, and because each figure traces back to its source document, the work stays auditable for examiner review.
What types of commercial loans does Aloan support?
Aloan supports CRE loans, C&I lending, SBA 7(a) and 504, lines of credit, equipment financing, and term loans. The platform processes tax returns, audited financials, rent rolls, operating statements, bank statements, and 14+ other document types commonly used in commercial underwriting.
What's the typical borrower profile?
Established SMBs with $500K–$10M in annual revenue seeking $50K–$2M in financing. Common industries include manufacturing, professional services, healthcare, e-commerce, and B2B services.
How long does implementation take?
Most lenders are live within 2-4 weeks. Aloan handles platform setup, credit policy configuration, and LOS integration. The bank's team does not need to write any code. White-glove onboarding with dedicated support is included throughout.
Is an AI commercial loan underwriting platform safe for regulated financial institutions?
Yes. Aloan is SOC 2 Type II certified and built for regulatory scrutiny — bank-level encryption, full audit trails, and cyber liability coverage. AI processing runs through SOC 2 Type II certified providers (Gemini Enterprise, AWS Bedrock). Every extracted number maps back to the exact source page for examiner review. The SOC 2 Type II report is available under NDA through trust.aloan.ai.
How do you handle fraud detection?
Multi-layer fraud detection covers document authenticity, bank statement analysis for synthetic patterns, business verification against public records, and behavioral analysis. Suspicious applications are flagged before they reach your team.
What ROI can a community bank expect from a commercial underwriting automation platform?
Lenders using a commercial underwriting automation platform like Aloan typically reduce manual data entry by 70% or more, cut underwriting turnaround from weeks to days, and free underwriters to focus on credit decisions instead of document management. The result is more loans closed with the same team size.
What integrations does an AI commercial lending platform support?
REST APIs, webhooks for real-time updates, and direct LOS connections. Aloan integrates with major loan origination systems (nCino, Abrigo, Baker Hill, LaserPro) and can build custom connectors for existing workflows — no LOS migration required.
